What is Performance Routing (PfR)? Tooling for Intelligent Path Control Performance Routing (PfR) provides additional intelligence to classic routing technologies to track the performance of, or verify the quality of, a path between two devices over a Wide Area Networking (WAN) infrastructure to determine the best egress or ingress path for application traffic...
